"Recognition plays a powerful role — not just in celebrating individual achievement — but in raising the bar for excellence across the sector," Steve Sampson, chief executive officer of Prime Capital, told Australian Broker. "These awards give us the chance to honour the hard work, innovation, and resilience that define this industry. I encourage everyone to nominate those who are making a real difference.”
Sampson, whose firm is sponsoring the "Prime Capital Boutique Aggregator of the Year" Award, added: "Prime Capital is extremely proud to support the Australian Mortgage Awards and help shine a light on the outstanding professionals who drive our industry forward."

These include Broker of the Year, Best New Brokerage, Best Major Bank BDM, Best Aggregator, Best Regional Brokerage, and many others.
Rate Money's Chief Executive Officer Ryan Gair said: "Voting for the best in our industry is about more than just giving someone an award. It’s about recognizing the people and firms who really go the extra mile — the ones who set a high standard and inspire others to do the same. When we celebrate that kind of dedication, it helps lift the whole industry and means better outcomes for everyone involved."
